ultimately faltering landing
21 February 2021
Skye Williams (Penelope Mitchell) is found cowering in a corner. Her boyfriend is missing. Dr. Sarah Faithfull (Maeve Dermody) is brought in to investigate. Skye is haunted by her ordeal and the after-effects of a powerful drug with which the couple had been experimenting. She is deadly afraid of the dark and an imaginary figure.

This is a psychological horror with a few atmospheric scares. There is not enough and it needs to make more sense. I can see at least two possible route for the premise. One is a body switch premise. The other is multiple personality premise. Neither actually works with the construction of this movie. I think they're going for an alternate dimensional evil which doesn't connect with the ending at all. This is a small Australian horror with two beautiful ladies. This has a couple of familiar moves but ultimately ends with a faltering landing. I'm looking through filmmaker Christopher Fitchett's credits. He seems to have made a few movies in the 80's and then worked on other people's shorts in the 2000's. I don't have much expectations for his future work.
